By Ann of Holier than Now If you saw my post on how to re-sell denim, you won’t be surprised that I just tried to sell my denim dress amongst a bunch of other fashion week splurges purchases! I was on the fence about parting with it … and I suppose the fates were too, because to paraphrase the old quote [...]

To be honest with you, I’m not really big on Saint Patrick’s Day. I am always coerced into a night of reveling and green beer and too many people in green plastic top hats, but I’m never that happy about it. One thing I can’t stand is how people think it’s appropriate to pinch you [...]

For a sort of scary amount of years, I was obsessed with wearing white tank tops under every shirt. Always and everyday, pulled down inches below the waist of my jeans, so it showed. Am I alone in this? Was it just a Seattle thing? Those were strange times. Anyway, finally something changed, I think [...]

I think it’s that whole concept of blossoming, blooming and rebirth that makes spring fashion so appealing. We’ve been covered up and cozy for many months, and the thought of shedding layers, donning florals and perhaps even stepping out in an open-toe shoe is utterly exhilarating. The winter has been a bit wimpy over on [...]

I’m taking a brief hiatus from the denim review I usually post here on Friday, to talk about a sometimes neglected component of the Eat, Sleep, Denim lifestyle – and that is the denim (or chambray) shirt. More than most, I see the adventure and variety in wearing jeans almost everyday, but a girl’s gotta [...]

How many more times do you think you can hear the phrase “pop of color” before you just can’t take it anymore? I love what it means – taking a basic outfit and jazzing it up with a bold and colorful piece – but the expression is starting to make my stomach turn just a [...]

By Crissie Fuller You’ve probably noticed by now, but neon is coming back in a big way. I tried to avoid it (I have some rough memories of mullets and neon spandex from the 80s… ) But then a pair of neon yellow jeans called to me. You know the call, the one you can [...]

Love is in the air… Everywhere I look around… Love is in the air… Every sight and every sound… I mean, right? Remember that song? It puts me in a good mood, and is obviously rather perfect for today, our most sacred holiday of love. Now, I’ve been single on Valentine’s Day every year since [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now So … When I was about 11 I had a plain black t-shirt. It was simple and versatile and I liked wearing it with the one pair of jeans I owned. One day, I went to transfer it from washer to dryer and it was just … gone. My mom [...]

I know this isn’t something I’m supposed to say on this blog – but sometimes I feel like I have too many pairs of jeans. Not too many because I don’t want them (clearly I can’t resist) but too many because I have a seriously difficult time picking out a pair each day. Which dark [...]

I think my obsession with all things French dates back to around 1990, when I started learning the language in kindergarten. Little words like beaucoup, magnifique and pain-au-chocolat have been in my vocabulary for decades. When I spent time in Paris in high school and college, I fell deeply and irrevocably in love with the [...]

The best thing to happen to fashion in the last decade has been the near-complete destruction of “rules.” You know, never wear this with that, certain colors for certain seasons… That’s all gone out the window and ushered in an anything goes age of dressing. So on that note, lets talk about pastels. They have [...]
